Who's Experience? Jonno with the Imola? All RS4 ownership is expensive if you want to maintain them properly. That said, buying a dealer car will at least give you some come back for things like leaking aux radiators. Do you plan to mod it?

Dealers are all a bit crap at answering questions. It’s not the way they really do business nowadays. Go see it, if it many checks out buy it, take the warranty. Get them to sort anything you aren’t happy with before you drive it away and jobs a good one. Carbon cleans and all that, they are less likely to be concerned with, but <beep> paint, low tyre tread, worn brakes etc. Si standard stuff really.

It's not been cheap. New clutch/ carbon clean/ new map (due to fuelling issues)/ lambda sensor/ new front discs & pads/ disc skims due to judder.

Half of that I knew about when I was buying it, but a few stings along the way!

I honestly think if you're umming and arring on costs, you should think twice.

I'm not doing huge miles in mine (5/6k a year) so it's not costing loads.

But that noise!!!! It's all worth it.
